"You don't do anything, but you want me to support Chuanzong. Anyone would think that Chuanzong is my son!"
"You…"
Mother Han angrily leapt to her feet and slapped Han Shu. She intended to slap his face, but Han Shu ducked, and the blow landed on his shoulder.
He labored all year and was very muscular. His shoulders were especially hard. Mother Han had hit him very hard, and now her hand hurt terribly.
"You… you…" Mother Han angrily blew on her hand while she pointed her finger at Han Shu to reprimand him.
"You're a fine man! You dare to reprimand your mother. Who is as unfilial as you? You dare to talk back to me?"
Han Shu had heard such things until he was sick of it. He did not react.
"No matter what, I will not permit Yu'er to drop out of school. As long as her grades are good enough, I will let her continue until she graduates from university."
Mother Han was furious. She stamped her feet and said, "No, I disagree. A useless creature like that; why spend so much money on her schooling? There's no one to do the chores at home, but you let her go to school. When she grows up, she'll have to marry someone. What good will it do our Han family?"
"Just a useless creature. She…"
"Even if my daughter is a useless creature, I'm spending my own money. As her father, I'm willing to spend the money on her education. You just mind your own business!"
Han Shu was upset. He put down the work in his hand and tried to leave.
Mother Han angrily said, "Her education costs money. You…"
"Her mother and I can afford it. Her mother's salary is enough to pay for her education."
Mother Han was stunned. She said with wide eyes, "What… what did you say? Her salary is for Chuanzong. Chuanzong has to go to school."
"What? Your son needs to go to school, but my daughter doesn't? In all the years that Little Qin has been in our family, has she ever wronged you? Why should you treat her like that? She works so hard outside to earn money, and has never refused to support her brother-in-law. All these years, she has slogged with me so that Jing Jing can go to school and she even supports Chuanzong and the two of you. Has she ever complained?
"Now you won't even let her daughter go to school? Then why should she go to work? She might as well stay at home and eat and wait to die!"
"You…" Mother Han was bewildered by his scolding!
Her eldest son had always worked hard without grumbling. He seldom rebelled against them. He did all the work within and around the house.
All these years, Mother Han had always felt this son was very obedient. Besides refusing to listen to them when it came to Han Jing's education, he always obeyed them in everything else.
She had not expected him to suddenly set himself against her!
Han Shu was extremely angry. As he left, he snapped, "Don't dream of getting any money from Little Qin this month. She will need to spend a lot of money to celebrate the New Year!"
Mother Han: "…"
She dumbly watched as her eldest son walked off. By the time she could react, she angrily chased after him, scolding him all the way.
But Han Shu turned a deaf ear and walked further and further away.
Time passed very quickly. The winters in the north were very cold and came very swiftly.
That winter, Wang Xiaoqin had a salary. More importantly, her husband did not ask her to give her salary to her in-laws.
The first month, she gave them 30 yuan and then gave Han Chuanzong some spending money. She scrimped and saved. The restaurant provided food and lodging, so she kept all her salary.
Of the 75 yuan she received the second month, she saved 70 yuan.
With her third month's salary in hand, she could do some New Year shopping.
